SCDOR shares tips to prepare for 2025 tax season in South Carolina

The South Carolina Department of Revenue (SCDOR) has released ten tips to help taxpayers prepare for the 2025 tax season. Key changes include an extended filing deadline of May 1, 2025, for state and federal returns due to Hurricane Helene. Taxpayers are advised to organize documents early, wait for W-2 forms before filing, and consider electronic filing for efficiency. Updating addresses is also important to ensure communication from the SCDOR. Tax professionals should renew their Preparer Tax Identification Number by December 31, 2024, and revoke any outdated authorizations for former clients. The SCDOR encourages direct deposit for refunds and offers resources on their YouTube channel and website for additional assistance.
